Need help appraising a 187

[Olavmol]

Hi guys,
I’ve been offered a 187 as a trade.
Now that it’s a V1 with a 7750.
I’ve seen even these versions sell for crazy money: €500 to even €700.
This is not in the best condition but it’ll probably be worth something to someone.
The 5 in 15 is gone and the bezel lume @12 is missing.
Could also serve as a base for a 187/225 hybrid.
I’m wondering what the value would be of this watch:


Any help is appreciated

It is very hard to tell in which condition the watch is with these low res pics.
I'm any case I guess its worth depends on how much you want it. Consider that sourcing spares will likely be very difficult given how rare this is.

The missing numeral can be made for £50,-.
I already have a 187 and would purely be as a trade to then sell.
Given the rarity I think it’s still worth trading, even in this condition.
Hence the value question

As you stated, 187's are certainly sought after - even the 7750 V1's. The watch in question looks like it's been used and abused, though hard to see the true condition; however its rarity will still mean that it's coveted.

Does the watch come with the date tool? Chronos function?

If you can replace the 5 marker and relume the bezel, then I could see it fetching in the region of $450-550, more if the condition is better than expected.

Honestly as it sits, maybe 300, assuming it's movement is running. I personally wouldn't go forward with such a beat up piece. It's definately a project piece.

I completely agree with the opinion expressed above.
If it is 7750, then it is definitely $300-350, and then it all depends on who needs them and why.
In this form, of course, it is not very valuable, except for unique parts, but as in the case of their restoration, the price above the indicated one will be subjective for the one who undertakes it.
For example, how much can a person give for a good 187 crystal if he broke his, when besides this, everything is fine with the watch? Or for a new dial, instead of a damaged one?
And if you add other unique parts, then subjectively - it is a lot, but only for the one who needs it. The same for the one who could fully restore it.
By the way, I think if you share a link where you can restore the marker instead of the lost one, I think many could thank you.
